De Burgh BC / Peterborough BC B (Mixed VIII B)

Despite general confusion as to when the start was and what the hell we were doing, resulting in something that more closely resembled 8 seperate starts, as soon as we'd got vaguely in sync we put in a pretty aggressive ten or so strokes and began to move through the other eight. Holding a strong if not entirely beautiful rhythm we continued to push through them. And then away from them. And then away some more, despite our strokeman catching a crab and falling off his seat.

Overall a pleasing start to the new year. And I heard the guy coxing the other boat is trialling.
